Periodic Processing

Inventory Control provides you with several tools you can use to process transactions and keep your inventory system up to date. This section outlines the periodic tasks you can perform, which include:

• Running day end processing.

• Creating transaction batches for your general ledger.

• Clearing history data.

• Deleting inactive records.

The Periodic Processing folder contains the following icons that display the forms you use for your periodic processing tasks:

• Day End Processing. Use this form to update statistics, cost inventory (if you choose the option to cost during day end) and to process Order Entry and Purchase Orders transactions. Run day end processing before creating G/L batches, clearing history, or deleting inactive records.

• Create G/L Batch. If you do not use the option to create general ledger transactions during day end processing, you must double-click this icon to create a general ledger transaction batch. Process the batch in Sage ERP Accpac General Ledger, if you use it, or post it manually to your other general ledger.

• Clear History. Use this form to clear the transaction and sales data you no longer need.

• Delete Inactive Records. Use this form to delete inactive records from your Inventory Control system.

If have the Serialized Inventory and Lot tracking license installed, extra icons will appear that will allow you to recall/release lots, split/combine lots, reconcile serial/lot numbers, release lots from quarantine, register serial numbers and update warranties on serialized/lotted items.

Warning!  If you want to print the G/L Transactions report, you must print it before you create the general ledger batch. When you create the general ledger batch, Inventory Control deletes the information in the G/L Transactions report.
